[Highlight] Amen Thompson gets the tip-in for the win!
Eason has to pay for Amen’s gas for tonight and tomorrow and the rest of next week
one of the worst throws ever
And right after Tari yelled at KD for not letting him inbound the ball
He was out there having a fit too
he threw it away to Reaves in the first Laker game as well I think
Nah I don’t blame Tari. The real issue is Ime. He had 2 timeouts and didn’t use them. They were up 1 with 5 secs left and under your own basket.
Why are you not calling timeout?
Gotta save them for next game
I still blame Tari because Ime didnt demand for him to inbound the ball, he went to Jabari who was going to inbound the ball and asked that he should do it
Gotta have that dawg in them to properly inbound /s
but seriously pretty braindead on his part
I’m not sure he’ll be able to afford that with his next contract.
Wasn’t it reported that we offered him $100M+ in the offseason? Probably a lot of that non-guaranteed, but still. Historic bag fumble
NBA been crazy lately
Entire 2nd half was insane. Heat run to end the third, Rockets run to go ahead in the 4th, then a grind fest back and forth till the buzzer.
Easy to say cause we won but that was a great game
Whole game! Crazy pace, many lead changes, and a few sick posters and crossovers
Thank god because the NCAA tournament is a snoozefest
There have been some incredibly close games here and there with a few minor and two somewhat major upsets. You absolutely do have those games like Florida did the other night, but nah. Not sure what you’re on about, mate. It’s been fun to watch. A lot of these great players are going to be in the NBA next year. The class roster is incredible.
Nah mate this is a gross exaggeration. The quality has been shockingly poor and most games have been a chore to watch. Very few unplayable players out there this year.
With all due respect, have you been watching the NCAA and currently March Madness throughout the year? There’s an incredible amount of talent. What is your opposition to the idea that the NCAA hasn’t been good this year so far? Just curious.
CAN I GET AN AMEN!?
Hallelujah
AMEN! Thank you Rockets!
I just wanna say for the Rockets bro that I was talking mad shit to yesterday, I apologize 1000 times and thank you all for your service
Best I can do I Ahmed.
[deleted]
send his ass to the rio grande valley vipers anyways
Nah he needs to go to the Guangdong Tigers
wtf was he thinking
I’d say it’s surprising how often you can say that, but honestly, it’s not really that surprising is it
Between this and the Kennard winner this has probably been one of the best regular season nights in a while.
don’t forget the fight with okc and the wizards!
Or the Clippers and T-Wolves fight and Kawhi showing the most emotion during that scuffle since the scandal
If you were watching Nebraska - Vanderbilt, that was insane too
Great night for the Hawks lol
I mean the Bam 83 point night was eventful and it was just over a week ago.
You know what, the least KD could’ve done was go over and congratulate Amen like the rest of the team was doing. When Kennard hit his game winner, Bron was jumping all over him like a little kid. KD just walked away smiling. Idk, little things like that say a lot about a team.
Edit: nevermind, he eventually showed up to give props.
Amen Thompson’s athleticism is not fucking human!!!
The day he learns to shoot I’m telling you he will be a monster.
That and a slightly better handle is all that’s missing from his game. The physical and IQ traits are there.
He really needs that handle more than anything. I’m of the camp that ball handling is the better prerequisite to becoming a superstar.
I don’t think either of the twins are going to be good shooters anytime soon
look id for him to prove me wrong but i think he would have found it by now. his jumpshot genuinely looks unfluid
Don’t look now, but he is shooting 46% from 3 since Feb 28th. Not a crazy amount of attempts, but still he has shot so much more confidently as of late.
That’s an 11 game sample where he made zero 3’s in 6 of them, that’s not confident at all imo (and he only made more than 1 once)
It’s huge progress from where he was at, at the beginning of the season. He’s hit half of his 3s since Jan 1 in that 11 game stretch. So, yes, he is shooting much more confidently lately.
At the beginning of the season he had a “stretch” of 5-11 from 3 in 4 games which is way better than this one (and still pretty much meaningless)
2 weeks on low volume. Drop the mic.
yea wtf that’s like saying amen shot 4-7 in one single game it’s meaningless
ok now to be fair that would not be meaningless. if amen ‘14% from 3’ thompson went 4 for 7 from 3 in a game i think i would probably cum
I keep rewatching those 2 seconds, how the fuck does he just glide upwards through the air
7 foot Ware playing with his ass out there
Ehh, I wouldn’t put that on Ware. He’s literally the only player fighting down there. Everybody else on the Heat is just standing around.
LITERALLY everyone else wasn’t even going into position for the rebound they were just there standing
As another commenter said, it’s 100% Herro ball-watching. He lost his man (Thompson) who flew by him and finished the play. A simple box out would from Herro would have won the game.
Everybody else has an excuse… Bam was contesting Durant’s shot, Ware was fighting hard to box out Şengün. Herro… Ball-watching.
Its a zone, Herro should absolutely put a body on Amen when the shot went up, Reed was in the corner so Herro was so deep in the paint to block the passing lane. Herro, Pelle and Simon all ball watching.
Fontecchio was fine, he was there to guard the paint on Durant, still watched for the pass to Smith Jr.
Guess Pelle Larsson was just doubling (probably coach’s decision).
Herro still wasn’t at a great angle to cut Sheppard off in the corner. Would have been better to be deeper in the paint instead of at the top of it. He could have boxed out Thompson there too. Think he just thought there was less time left than there was.
It had to be the coaches decision for Pelle to be there, it left 2 guys on Herro’s side. Herro was deep to play the passing lane, still gotta fucking put a body on someone. I thought there was less time as well, but they gotta play till the end, stop fucking ball watching.
Spo was playing a zone. Look at Reed Sheppard, Herro was supposed to stay on that side of the floor not defend 1 man. It’s everyone’s job to crash the boards, not just the smallest guy out there
Yeah it can be zone but I’d still throw a box out on a player crashing the boards with the ball going up in the air with ~2 seconds left. At that point you don’t need to keep guarding your zone. If this is the middle of the game then sure.
True, but that also applies to Bam and Fontechio and Pelle who are bigger than Herro and also stood there without boxing out. After KD shot it seems like they didn’t expect there to be a rebound so idk.
Well bam just finished contesting Durant ware was brought in to finish the play
Ware was fighting for position. That’s on Herro for ball watching.
That’s Herro’s fault not Ware’s. Ware’s man is Sengun.
Can’t imagine having negative BBIQ like your dumbass
Herro made zero contact, literally let Amen walk into the paint and get whatever he wanted
PTSD NOT AGAIN
Derrick White in game 6 deserves more flowers
I mean…you still won that series despite that game winner
All we had to do was box out
Absolutely heart breaking
All we had to do is not let Tari inbound
Or just use one of our two timeouts lol
On the one hand i absolutely feel you, heartbreaking indeed
On the other hand you can imagine how my blood pressure spiked after Tari gave you guys the ball on that inbounds
Common weakness of playing zone is it’s harder to find a man to box out. Their best rebounder had to cover the shot. Ideally there wouldn’t have been enough time for a tip. Shit happens
Spoelstra doing a better job boxing out assistant coach. For real though wtf was he doing over there? lol
Him?
I was talking about the Heat in general
Herro’s man. Caught ball watching.
JUST THE TIP
Ofmydickerson
This after Tari’s turnover
Bailed them out
Lots of crazy endings tonight
Bailed out Ime and Tari.
Oh, we’re allowed to win again?
What a fun game
THANK YOU AMEN
What a fucking game
This is the 3rd game winner of the season for the Rockets, and the first where they were behind.
Hornets fans everywhere rejoice
We had two buzzer beater winners tonight and a 25 pt win or whatever of our own
Same with the hawks lol
What a save by Amen JFC. That would’ve been an embarrassing loss.
Pretty much every Heat player aside from Ware just completely stops playing after Durant’s shot assuming the time would expire.
Praise be
Amen
Eason hoy bailed the f out
Tyler Herro for the win!
Great D by Bam. He knew exactly where KD was going.
Fuck yeah. Picked Rockets on 2k Daily Pick Em
KD walking off like he hit it
KD cheering alone lol
There’s a reason Spo still doesn’t trust Ware
Ware wasnt the issue
PTSD
Kel’el Ware… My guy why were you ball watching 💀
He got shoved lol
Can I get an AMEN
Rough night for Florida. Two game winners on them.
Karma for Amen missing the tip shot at the end of regulation against Golden State a couple weeks ago.
Another buzzer beater. . We got game winning layup from Mitchell (crazy shot), Kennard 3 for the Lakers, and now Amen with the clutch tip in over 2 defenders to win it.
NBA season has been good since the start, so many great clutch performances from players and teams.
love how his teammates mobbed him, except for KD who walked the other direction
Vibes are back
You get a game winner, you get a game winner, everybody gets a game winner
Another Rockets clip that starts with KD iso at half court lol
See how every Rocket player rushed to hug Amen instead of KD? They hate him.
Tough way to lose the game
Crazy ending
Easy to say because we won but this was a great game
“I love that trampoline-legged fool!”
-GetoffmyDickerson
fun game to watch. big swings in the lead until the end.
Absolute mammoth play I give it a 24⁄25
THANK YOU ROCKETS!!!
Sincerely Buzz City!
Wth Eason lmao
Dude has a second level to his vertical/ quickness. You see it with basic layups and rebounds
Thanks Rockets!
‘How are the vibes in here’
Maybe a good idea to box out the PG who already has 17 rebounds…..
I will never get over how crazy his jumps are that shit looked so effortless and mf still flew
Interesting that Durant celebrated alone while Amen and the others huddled
Holy fuck haha nice!
KD would have had a few team mates killed had they lost this game, man.
I hate everything
DPOY wannabe Bam ball watching
lmao rat snake celebrates by himself, selfish.
And sengun gets away with another shove lol
no shot a heat fan is complaining about that level of contact
you watch your bench full of amateur MMA wishfuls do more than that on every possession
The only thing in Amen’s bag lol. Lucky ass shit
Brother that was awesome, don’t hate when you can appreciate.
